In which we – siblings Gemma and Rowan - discuss episode 4 of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, Gray Hour. In this episode’s dubious plot, Eliza is Taffy, a safe cracking high heel wearing criminal who is retrieving some stolen artwork from a safe. Uhoh though, someone uses remote wet wipes to reprogramme her.

Confusingly, the tagline for this episode is also that of the environmental youth group I am a member of - https://woodcraft.org.uk/ 

The episode starts as it means to go on, with some casual homophobia and some sleazy male gazery and moves into the realm of heist tropes. How many can we count? More importantly, why is she called Taffy? Who is Judith? Is Topher actually more ripped than is feasible for a noughties nerd living in a dystopian indoor environment? Does he really eat all that veg in his fridge? Is Yumio Takahashi really trying to steal Topher’s credit? Are you a broken cucumber or a chowder head? How have we never realised that losing your marbles is a reference to the Elgin Marbles? Or did we just make that up. We consider a Sierra and Topher spin off and reminisce on Knight Rider. Phew, it’s a time listener, enjoy.
